Question 911 Steering question

My 85 911 steering wheel is not straight even though the tires are. Maybe 1 inch to the left. Also the turning radius when turning left is less than when turning to the right. Also a little play in the steering.

Steering rack bolts are not loose. Bolts accessable thru smuggler's box have been tightening (helped a little - steering play only).

One shop told me the steering rack is bad. another one told me it was not the rack. Would turning radius be reduced only when going left if it was the rack. It turns smooth and does not bind either way.

Could any or all of this be tie rods as I have read going to the turbo tie rods could help some of this.

Thanks for any suggestions or help in these issues.
